Business profile

Updated

Essential Properties Realty Trust is an internally managed real estate investment trust, or REIT, that buys, owns and manages commercial properties. It primarily leases each property to a single tenant under a long-term net lease. Its customers are mainly middle-market companies operating service-oriented or experience-based businesses, including car washes, restaurants, medical and dental services, and early childhood education.

A common transaction is a sale-leaseback: Essential Properties buys a property from its operator and leases it back to that same business. The operator receives capital from the sale and continues using the property, while Essential Properties becomes its landlord. The company also makes mortgage loans secured by properties.

Total pay is as the Summary Compensation Table states it; actually paid revalues the year’s share awards at its end, as the SEC’s pay-versus-performance rule asks. $100 invested is what $100 in the company’s shares at the start of the earliest year shown was worth at each year’s end. Ownership is the proxy’s own table: the directors and officers as a group, and every holder of 5% or more. Read the proxy statement
